"... Abstract: The number of portable and wearable devices has been increasing in the population of most developed countries. Meanwhile, the capacity to monitor and register not only data about people’s habits and locations but also more complex data such as intensity and strength of movements has create ..."

identify current states of traffic inside cities and relate such information with knowledge obtained from historical data recovered by ubiquitous and pervasive devices. Such objective is delivered by analysing real time contributions from those devices and identifying hazardous situations and problematic

"... Computing devices and applications are now used beyond the desktop, in diverse environments, and this trend toward ubiquitous computing is accelerating. One challenge that remains in this emerging research field is the ability to enhance the behavior of any application by informing it of the context ..."

"... Work organizations offer a person far more than merely.a job. Indeed, from the time individuals first enter a workplace to the time they leave their member-ship behind, they experience and often.commit themselves to a distinct way of life complete with its own rhythms, rewards, relationships, demand ..."

Work organizations offer a person far more than merely.a job. Indeed, from the time individuals first enter a workplace to the time they leave their member-ship behind, they experience and often.commit themselves to a distinct way of life complete with its own rhythms, rewards, relationships, demands, and potentials.

"... This paper gives HRTF magnitude data in numerical form for 43 frequencies between 0.2---12 kHz, the average of 12 studies representing 100 different subjects. However, no phase data is included in the tables; group delay simulation would need to be included in order to account for ITD. In 3-D sound ..."

measurements for other individuals. The Convolvotron 3-D audio system (Wenzel, Wightman, and Foster, 1988) has used such sets particularly because elevation accuracy is affected negatively when listening through a bad localizers ears (see Wenzel, et al., 1988). It is best when any single nonindividualized HRTF

"... In 1991, Mark Weiser presented his vision of technologies that dissapear and blend into the everyday environment [Weiser, 1991]. Many regard this as the birth of ubiquitous computing. The last decade of evolution in mobile technology has made Weiser’s vision more feasible, but still we are years awa ..."
